general problems of the 2015 Chevrolet Equinox - part 2

On October 16, 2020 I was parked at walmart gettin ready to turn on my windshield wipers and drive my daughter and I home until when I turned on my windshield wipers they wouldn't work. So I then went back inside for some rain-x (which didn't help much cuz it was raining and rain-x is supposed to be applied to a dry windshield) just so I could get us and our groceries home. Thank the lord we made it home safe, groceries in tact!!! for the transmission problems. . . . I change my fluids on a regular basis yet every week for the past bout 8 months now as I slow down going uphill to pull into my father in law's driveway the transmission jerks. There's 89,234 miles on my 2015 chevy Equinox, I've been driving it since it had a little over 66,000 miles on it.

The engine is jerking, jumping, car has no power. . . Complete piece of crap.

With not quite 63,000 miles the check engine light keeps coming in and I get alerts from on-star. My mechanic looked it up and an occurring problem with this yr. Its a valve that sends oil to the dual cams. . . It had no power and was using way more has and oil than usual. . . This is the 4th time in a month it has been looked at. . . It also seems to have the lurching tranny problem ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

My transmission has gone out causing my car to stall and not accelerate four times since I purchased the vehicle. Also the entire computer system just shut down and my vehicle would not start. Windshield wipers fly off frequently. My transmission issue has happened on major freeways three times now causing me to stall and sit on the side of freeway until tow truck became available.

Tl-the contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to restart. The contact mentioned that the vehicle failed to downshift and upshift. In addition, while the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle delayed to stop. The the vehicle was taken to tucker Chevrolet 1340 us-1, waldoboro, me 04572 where it was diagnosed that the shiftier knob needed to be replaced, the transmission needed to be reset and the transmission fluid needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,460. Ak.

I have 2015 chevy Equinox that is shutting off with intermittent engine light coming on . Truck is driving rough feels as if it wants to stall while I'm driving.

Car is only 4 years old and has chevy service department certified bad timing belt. Car has verifiable routine maintenance upkept. This is likely a manufacture's defect.

Issue with oil consumption on this vehicle. Needs 2 quarts of new oil every 2-3 weeks with moderate driving. Mechanics say this is a known issue with Chevrolet Equinox’s since 2011. The only true fix is to replace the engine and even then the problem can reoccur with new engines. I have joined a facebook page called “terrain-equinox oil consumption recall” with thousands of members experiencing same issue. There is no assistance from dealerships to assist in covering repair costs. There was a limited recall for model year 2013 but same issues are present in 2014’s and 2015’s as well. There are also many complaints about on this issue on this bursa website. Looking for any assistance.

After multiple oil leak repairs vehicle still leaks oil while stationary. When the heat is on the smell of oil comes into the vehicle. I have checked for any recalls for the vehicle but not have arrived.

On numerous occasions during the past few months, the windshield on my 2015 Chevrolet Equinox became extremely fogged up, significantly decreasing visibility. The vehicle was never able to defrost or clear the condensation up, no matter what selection was made on the heat/air conditioning setting(s). Approximately one week ago, while driving at night with an outside temperature of approximately 45 degrees f, the windshield again became extremely fogged up. This time, the windshield condensation/fog had become so severe that I was unable to see out of the windshield and other passenger windows at all and was forced to pull the vehicle over. The vehicle was not safe to continue driving with no visibility. Thankfully, I was not on the highway at this point and was able to effectively pull off the roadway without incident. The vehicle was brought to the dealership the next day and diagnosed with a �heater core failure. � the failure of the heater core is what causes the extreme condensation build up and fogging of the interior windshield and windows. The vehicle is only a 2015 and I am extremely concerned with the premature failure(s) of an integral component of the vehicle, especially one that affects visibility and compromises safety to myself, my passengers, and others on the roadway.

I have had problems with this vehicle brought to the dealers attention and was told not covered. Vehicle stalled out and I was rear ended due to issue with power train.

Oil consumption issue. Chevrolet's definition of oil consumption issue is using a quart (or more) within 2000 miles (or less) . Other companies would define this as an issue but Chevrolet does not see this as an issue. My car has shut off while in motion on a main road 7-9 times. It has also occurred in parking lots. I have to attempt multiple times for my car to stay on to get off of the roadway. It happens in forward and reverse.

My car is a 2015 chevy Equinox that I have driven since I picked it up from the dealer with six miles on it. On or about February 8. I started the car in the morning, after running for a few seconds it sounded like the oil was too low. I shut the car off checked the oil, found it low, I put two quarts in and started it again. I checked it again saw it was low, I looked underneath and saw oil on the ground. I towed the car to my regular mechanic, he said it was a rear main seal. During the repair he told me he was researching the car and learned that this is a common problem with this car, and while he is replacing the seal he wanted to clean the pcv system as well. I asked him to do what is necessary to repair the car. After paying over $1000. 00 my mechanic told me that I may want to call gm or NHTSA and try to get reimbursed because this is the same system that was recalled, just a year off. My wife called gm, the person she spoke with agreed that there may be an issue and asked for all documentation, my wife was shocked when the 1st representative told her that they knew about the problem. Then told her that a senior representative will call her back the next. Today that senior representative called her back. I was home when this happened. After she explained what happened and what was done to the car the fist response she got was "since we didn't take the car to a gm dealership there was nothing they could do" she then put me on the phone and I asked him that if the gm dealer fixed it would it be taken care of. ? he then changed his tune telling me that it has not been established that a recall exists. However, he did say that noting can be done just because I read something on the internet. I replied that yes I was doing research, yes, I did find others are having the same problem as the recall. If others are having the same problem. Why not another recall?.

The check engine light, is on I have 50,000 miles it shut off when u come to stop or idle. . Pulled code came back as p0010,& p0011, camshaft position actuator . This car has been excellent cared for. Unexceptionable. . Car was in motion, on the streets, highway s. Cars blowing for me to pull off. Have to drive with flasher to keep cars back to keep from getting rear ended.

With out warning my wifes car went into engine power failure mode. The car would not go more then 10 mph. I had the car towed to a chevy dealership. They informed me that the vehicle was four quarts low of its motor oil. They then asked me for all the service records I had to establish a history. They had the oil changes that I did from the dealer, one from a well know auto merchandiser and because I did the most recent one myself, the dealer is telling me that they will not accept that one because there is no documentation of me doing it and hence the vehicles power train warranty will not be honored. The car is only three years old and has 75000 miles on it. No indication of any issues were present at anytime with this vehicle.

The ignition key was able to be removed from the ignition while the vehicle was not in the park position (vehicle was in drive position). In which caused a rollaway incident with the vehicle. The vehicle was stationary and belived to be in park.

I parked my car on Monday night and heard a rattling noise and the engine sounded like it was knocking. I turned it on and off and it started again. The next day I get in to take my two young children to school and the car wouldn't start. I called the dealer and had the car towed and the dealer tells me that I need a new engine. The vehicle has 58,352 miles so it as far I know it should be covered under the power train warranty as I have less that 100,000 miles and its only 3 yrs old since I bought it brand new. Well gm will not cover the motor because I didn't take it to the dealer to have oil changes done. Since they have no record of the oil changes despite that fact that I did them every 3000 miles as recommended they will not give me a new motor yet I still have to pay $510 a month for a car that I can no longer drive. Gray Chevrolet is the dealer the car is at and they are the worst. Gm doesn't honor their warranties and should be put out of business. I will never ever buy a gm vehicle ever again. Why was there no lights on the dashboard prior? how do I need a motor over night when I had no problems previously? why is that gm will not honor their warranty or at least send someone to the dealer to investigate? why won't gm at least call gray Chevrolet to find out what happened as opposed to reading something to me from a computer screen? why would they not try to assist their customers? im stranded with 2 kids and no one care. Don't ever by any vehicle from gm!!!!!!!!.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox. While driving approximately 50 mph in the rain, the windshield wipers stopped working without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission was faulty. The dealer was contacted (matthews Chevrolet in bucyrus, OH) and stated that there were no parts available. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The vehicle was repaired by an independent mechanic. The failure mileage was approximately 32,000.

On 1/2/2017 I possibly totaled a 2015 chevy Equinox and I wasn't even in it. I am the fire chief in my town and responded to a non-responsvie individual call. When I arrived I was apparently distracted by the call type and what we were going to be doing next and left the vehicle in drive and exited the vehicle. It was cold so I left my vehicle running. The car sat there for about 10 - 15 minutes in drive but not moving. I came out of the house to make a phone call, only to see my vehicle start to roll forward and then gain momentum and travel into the woods and down a ravine. What if there had not been anything to stop it. How far would it have gone? what if it had been in a residential area? what if it had been a mother who got out for something but left her kids in the car. The technology exists today on my riding lawn mower that if I am not in the seat it shuts off. Should vehicles not have the same technology to keep this kind of accident from happening? yes, I should have taken the extra second to make sure it was in park, yes I could have set the emergency brake (which I definitely will in the future for any vehicle I leave running). But humans are not infallabile as I found out. It was a sickening feeling to watch and now I am just hoping it does not have significant ramifications for my employment. My incident is past, but if something could be done to prevent a reoccurance from happening to someone else then I want to make sure that I am part of it.

Very slow to pick up speed from a complete stop. And also very slow picking up speed going up a hill, transmission shifts very slowly and engine becomes loud when leaving from a complete stop or going up hills. This issue happens all the time since the purchase of a vehicle. Ask a dealer regarding this issue and they said that's just the way the vehicle was made.
